Q: What does your company do?
A: L&P is a 133-year-old diversified manufacturer
that designs and produces engineered products found in
most homes and automobiles. We have 17 business units,
20,000 employee-partners, and 130 manufacturing facilities
in 19 countries.

Q: What is your role there?
A: As of Jan. 1, I became president of the L&P Wire
Group, responsible for our four wire mills.

Q: What do you like best about your position?
A: I have been with L&P for over 20 years now, many
of those in HR and Operations Services. I enjoy visiting
our wire mills and talking to our partner-employees. Their
efforts and input have always been an important part of
our success, and it’s impressive how very well they work
together. As I get my arms around the sales side of the
business, I really enjoy having a very competent team
working with me.

Q: How does your company remain competitive?
A: We continue to replace older equipment with newer
machines that improve productivity and quality. We
do that by a “team approach” to make sure that we are
investing in the right technology and equipment. We also
focus on employee development: we challenge them to
continuously improve in areas such as safety, quality,
productivity and customer service. Part of my job is to
keep that competitive spirit very strong throughout the
workforce.
